Chapter 238


    “Elio, chill out; we can’t be sure she’s Roman’s mom yet. Maybe she’s just a scammer; how could you


    fall for her word’s so easily!” Farrah persisted, “We should do a DNA test first!”


    “What if you’re being fooled? Pretty girls are the best at ying people!”


    A few rich wives chimed in immediately, “Yeah, maybe she’s just pretending to be Roman’s mom

    because she saw you were into her!”


    “What if her sones for Roman’s inheritanceter?”


    “Nowadays, some women will do anything to marry into a wealthy family!”


    “Yeah, she’s an actress, and the Lampard Group has so many entertainment resources, she’ll definitely


    rely on you to get famous!”


    Elio was taken aback by their constant whining.


    The conversation got sharper, and Elio nced at them, coldly saying, “Shut up!”


    His words were like a seal, instantly silencing the wives.


    They looked at Elio’s icy face and grew uneasy as they nced at each other.


    All theirpanies, more or less, had coborations with the Lampard Group. You could say the


    Lampard Group put food on their tables.


    Led by Farrah, they had spoken out of turn, and now, reflecting on it, they were suddenly scared…


    If they upset Elio, theirpanies might go bankrupt in a sh.


    “I believe her.” Elio said, looking down at Astrid, “I believe she is Roman’s mom, and I believe she won’t


    lie to me.”


    Amanda watched Elio protect Astrid. Her eyes reddened as she leaned on Matthew’s shoulder.and


    began crying, “Matthew, isn’t he just like you? Do you remember when I was newly pregnant, some


    people said the baby wasn’t yours and encouraged you to do a DNA test.”


    “You also firmly believed in me and protected me back then.“.


    Matthew raised his hand to wipe his wife’s tears when he saw her cry, “You’re all grown up and still


    crying. Aren’t you embarrassed? Stop crying, you’re making a spectacle of yourself.”


    Amanda spoke. “Whether we do a DNA test or not, I believe in Astrid; I just want her to be my


    daughter–inw. If Elio ever treats Astrid badly in the future, I’ll break his legs and send him to beg on


    the streets! You have to be on my side, not his!”


    Matthew was both amused and exasperated, “Alright, alright, I’m on your side..


    Just then, Astrid spoke up, “I agree to the DNA test, but I’m not doing it to prove anything; I’m doing it


    to shut the doubters up.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell silent.


    A few secondster, Hawthorne’s voice came from the corner, “Astrid, why are you putting yourself


    through this? Doing a DNA test is a sign of distrust;/ wouldn’t it be better if we just went home? Why do


    you have to put up with all the scorn here?”


    Astrid looked at him and sneered, “Hawthorne, stop pretending to be kind; I’ve seen through you.”


    “I used to despise Hal Cot, but now I find you even more disgusting. At least his craziness is out in


    the open, unlike you, who snuck around doing bad things!”


    “I’m telling you, I’m definitely doing this DNA test!”


    Hearing Astrid’s words, Hawthorne felt a chilling coldness spread through his limbs.


    He never saw thising.
